We have reduced support for legacy browsers.

What does this mean for me? You will always be able to play your favorite games on Kongregate. However, certain site features may suddenly stop working and leave you with a severely degraded experience.

What should I do? We strongly urge all our users to upgrade to modern browsers for a better experience and improved security.

So…some sections are 2012-only but 2008-entries were accepted in other sections. I’m glad I didn’t participate. We can see why this event didn’t happen last year: people knew inconsistency and/or bias would inevitably happen:/

My intention with accepting non-2012 entries was because the Collabs section is being removed and I thought it’d be nice to honour the best-of that the section has produced. In regards to Adonis and his work being placed under the 2012 section. That was an honest mistake of mine because I didn’t check beforehand. Once it was pointed out to me (during the week of voting), I made the appropriate correction.

You were reminded of this two times throughout the last month, so I don’t think that’s a valid justification, especially for such an important event. I know it’s too late to turn back, but I still want to state my disappointment.

I find that very hard to believe. I would never knowingly make such a mistake. I was trying to be as transparent and unbiased as possible. These awards have had a checkered past and I’ve done everything I’ve possibly could to move past that and restore people’s faith in the integrity and legitimacy of them.

Oh no. :(
Do you remember your votes? I’ll add them in imemdiately!

I’ll only say the ones where it would have mattered:
Developer: 2DArray
Artist: Es337
The rest of my votes were either already for the person who won, or they wouldn’t have become tied for a win, so I’ll leave them out.

Also, congratulations to everyone.

I’m so sorry, 123. It was absolutely not intentional. :(
This definitely hasn’t been handled perfectly. I know that and have made a lot of mental notes as to how to run it better next year. Thank-you everyone that participated in the voting. Thank-you to the nominees for being awesome enough to be nominated and congratulations to the winners!
I hope everyone can forgive me for the bad things that happened. :( and i hope that everyone would like for this to continue. This was a spur of the moment thing, so it wasn’t very well thought or planned out. Next year will be better, I promise! :D

Congrats to all winners, and thanks, guys, for voting me as your favorite admin. I’d like to thank my high school friend Tracy, for showing me Kongregate those many years ago. And also, I’d like to thank the Academy, but only because they told me to.
